Back at the start of the season, many backed Leicester City for a relegation spot.

The Foxes had just appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager; an incredibly risky move, considering his terrible spell as boss of the Greek national team. Likewise, star man Esteban Cambiasso had decided against prolonging his time at the club. There was a heavy air of uncertainty around the King Power Stadium.

Fortunately for Leicester fans, none of that has negatively affected their campaign - quite the opposite, in fact. The team have defied all expectations and stormed their way to the top of the league.

The supporters are on top of the world at the moment. However, one fan must be feeling luckier than most - mainly because Leicester's success has just won him a cool £5000.

Leicester's win at Everton means they will now DEFINITELY be top of the league at Christmas. And that means this incredibly optimistic Foxes fans just converted a five quid wager into five grand. Behold!

We're not sure what's more remarkable: the fact this lad even considered betting on this eventuality in August, or the fact the 1000/1 shot has just come in.

Incredible scenes all round.

Ladbrokes have confirmed that the bet is 100% genuine, so we doff our cap to this insane/inspired punter.
